Why It Matters

Starting solids is one of the most exciting milestones in your baby's first year, and we want you to enjoy this special stage, not fear it.

As mums and paramedics, we know how overwhelming it can feel to hand your baby those first pieces of food, and we've seen first-hand how quickly choking and allergic reactions can become frightening emergencies.

That's why we created this course, to replace anxiety with practical skills and confidence, so you can embrace this exciting stage knowing you're prepared should the unexpected happen.

Our educators are registered paramedics, mums, and experienced trainers who continue to work on the frontline for their local ambulance service.

Frequently Asked Questions

I have less than the minimum of 10 attendees, can I still host a course?

No worries! If you can't find 10 people to attend your private course, you are welcome to book for a smaller group; however, you will need to pay the minimum fee between you. Alternatively, you could consider attending a public course or purchasing our online course.
What do I need to host a course?

Hosting a course is easy, all you'll need is a comfortable space with room for everyone to sit (a living room or community venue is perfect), a TV or screen with an HDMI connection, and access to a power point Wifi. We'll bring everything else, including all training equipment, CPR manikins, defibrillators and course resources. All you need to do is invite your family and friends, put the kettle on, and we'll take care of the rest.
Can we have our babies at the course?

Absolutely! Our Starting Solids First Aid course is designed for mothers groups with babies in mind. You're welcome to set up a play mat for your little ones while you learn. Feel free to feed, cuddle, change nappies or settle your baby whenever you need. Our goal is to create a relaxed, supportive environment where you can learn practical first aid skills without worrying about your little one.
Do you teach us how to safely introduce foods?

Our course focuses on the first aid side of starting solids, including choking first aid, recognising allergic reactions, and what to do in an emergency. While we cover practical ways to reduce choking risk, we don't provide detailed guidance on nutrition, meal planning or how to introduce specific foods.
Do I get any take home resources?

You sure do! We know you're unlikely to remember every single thing from the course, so we've created plenty of ways to refresh your knowledge long after the day is over. Every attendee receives a take home magnet pack featuring our Primary Survey Magnet and Medication Tracker, plus a handy keyring with access to our digital first aid manual. The manual covers everything taught during the course, broken down into easy to follow flowcharts and bite sized fact sheets for quick reference when you need it most. You'll also receive 12 months access to our online course, Starting Solids First Aid, allowing you to revisit all of the content covered on the day.
